'Specification of Letters Patent. j Patented Nov.=2$,1912j. Application filed January 23,'1$12. Serial No.672 ,86 8. 7 i v To all whom it mag concern: I,

Be it' known that I, Gnonen Dmsmoon, citizen of the United States, residing at Lawrence, in the county of Essex and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Im rovements in Cloth-Board fi etion. I This invention relates to cloth board hold-, ers that are ,used in connection with machines for winding cloth into a roll, for

transportation and ordinary commercial e of all parts assembled, without the bearings. 8O

purposes.

The object of this invention is the production of a cloth board holder comprising parts of. special construction and particular arrangement, whereby it is believed that thinner boards of cheaper lumber, even cross grained stuff, may be used and successfully held without breaking by reason of "the considerable strain of the winding cloth,

thus efi'e'ctin a much sought-saving in the cost of the 0 0th boards.

The construction and arrangement preferred are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, of which Figure 1 represents a top plan view of this invention in bearings. Fig. 2 is a side v1ew Fig. 3 is a'section on broken line ww of .Fig. 2, and shows the grooved face of the swivel head, and Fig. 4. is a section on line y'-y of Fig. 2, and shows-the grooved face of the raising head. 5

The same letter is used to refer to the same part throughout the description and drawings.

Considering the drawings, in Fig. 1, the gearA, on shaft B, provided with bearings 12, may be caused to rotate the swivel head holder 0, with which shaft B is connected by the set screw 0, and the pin D in engage- .ment with the recess 12 of the swivel head holder. The swivel head E is pivotally joined toits holder C by the pivot bolt e.

Extendingfrom opposite sides and ends ofthe swivel head E are the blades F and f, and between the two blades the cloth board -G- is placed. The board extends from head bearing j,- that may be opened. For example, the bearing 7' is provided with a hinged end K, and the fastening device is which being turned in the direction' of the dotted line in Fig. 1, will permit the up er part of bearing j to be swung upwar 1y onthe hingeK, and the spindle J may then be grasped by the hand and raised out of thebea'ring. I do not confine myself to the "particular form ofbearings-illustrated, as

such bearings form no portionof this invention, being introduced merely in aid of this description.

In Figs. 2 and 4.- it will be noted that the ends of the blades F and f enter the recesses L and'M of head H, but that they are not secured in those recesses. The other ends of theblades, as shown in'Figs. 2 and 3, occupy recesses N and a in the swivel head E, and the ends of the blades are secured in those recesses by the screws 1:

and Q. I

Itis believed to be now made out that the blades extend along and support the board near its edges, and that the blades lie against the edges of the board which are expected to resist the pull of the winding cloth. Let it be assumed that the top of the'board ,G, as shown in Fig. 2, moves during the winding operation from the ob server. It will be noted under those circumstances that the blades F and f are arranged to resist the pull of winding cloth, and boards of very cheap material are thus enabled to withstand the strain and to fully serve the purpose desired.

Obviously, the cloth is wound upon the board over the blades, and when the winding is complete, bearing jis opened, spindle J raised and the head H taken ofi the ends of the blades and board. The cloth and the board may now be drawn off the blades.

Having now described this invention, and

explained the mode of its use and opera- 10C with the ends of said blades, the heads of the blades being located upon opposite sides of said removable head.

2. In a cloth board holder, the combination with a pivoted head, of blades secured to the opposite sides and ends of -said head and arranged against opposite sides and near opposite edges of a cloth board, and a removable head havin a s indle, the said heads being provide wit devices constrnctedto engage the ends of a cloth board.

3. In a cloth board holder, the combination with a pivoted head, of blades secured to opposite sides and ends of said head and arran ed against opposite sides and near opposite edges of a cloth board, and a removable head having a spindle and provided with devices, constructed to engage'the ends of said blades.

4. In a cloth board holder, the combination with two separable heads, of a board arranged between said heads, and blades extending from one of said heads to the other and constructed and arrangedto rein: force the opposite edge portions of said board on opposite sides thereof.
